About Piotrek & Krystal

Piotrek & Krystal have been teaching together live classes year round in Portsmouth NH and Newburyport MA for 5 years. They came together with a distinct desire for the dance to be a modality for self exploration, growth and healing. Piotrek and Krystal's students have raved for years about their unique and effective style of teaching. They combine the development of proper technique with the spirit of the dance. This way of teaching engages all parts of the body: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual, which leads to dancing that is extremely rich. 

"We can’t wait to share with you the closed connection. Adding the closed connection to your basic cable, makes dancing more versatile. We play with the expansion and contraction of the relationship and the swing. It is one of the most powerful foundational components of latin dancing. The closed connection gives us an opportunity to move a little deeper into our vulnerability and travel outside of our comfort zone, into a space shared by two and created by two. We are going to experience the magic of co-creation in this video series and that is pure magic!"

- Krystal & Piotrek

Salsa Secrets holds social dances the first Saturday of each month in Portsmouth, NH. All levels are welcomed!

“Online dance lessons with Salsa Secrets have been amazing. I am a long time contra dancer and wanted to learn salsa dance quickly, in my own home. I’ve been practicing alone and sometimes with a partner. There are many details that I didn’t know that I’ve been applying to other styles of latin dance. These courses have been a tremendous asset to me! I hope to someday come to Portsmouth and dance with the community. ”
